There's a limit to that greater good sorta sentiment. Pretty sure if they came to aid with good intentions, nobody would be stupid enough to crack a source of power. What if somebody came to your house, say they wanna place their fridge there, but you can use it as long as there's space. And they're free to just go into your house to grab whatever they need, but they also filled the fridge to the point you can't use it.

You also don't know how to open that fridge. It's just taking up space, and you haven't even consented. But that fridge can feed... I dunno, some employees at a big company.

This is a misrepresentation because that isn't how energy (or the food in your example) is distributed. The power doesn't only go the the company. Anyone is allowed to purchase the service. The factory would pay to use the power grid, they would employee workers to make products that would be circulated locally. The workers would take home pay that they could use to buy electricity to raise their standard of living.

Instead they destroy the solar panels.

Gotta admit, every single sentence in this post is utterly hilarious. Good show, buddy.

Yusei Karin from Luck Stealer.

Born without the natural ability to produce luck, and only survived by having her mother die in her place, and her father constantly stealing people's luck to the point where they die due to it, and transferring that luck to her.

Literally so unlucky that she would be dead hundreds of times over if her father didn't steal enough luck to kill a person every other week or so.

Why did KH2 come out within three years of KH1, yet it takes thirteen+ years for KH3?

Restructuring in the company fucked over both KH3 and FFXV's development.

And the director wanted to expand on the story with 6 more games in between the two. Then SQ realized they could easily resell the games in HD...twice.

And then the director came up with another prequel game.

Because I value freedom. It includes the good and the bad. It's not illegal to be an asshole and it shouldn't be. The more sensitive and disconnected the world becomes, the more of this we will lose. People stay in too much and can block things they dislike and make their world an echo chamber. This is why people can't take trolling or criticism.

Laws may be in place to protect all of this, but the people make the law and the softer the people are...the worse the whole thing becomes because laws can be changed.

Also because if I know someone is doing something to upset me, I don't let it. There's no benefit to that.

I have 20 MB/s at home and it seems slow a lot of the time for downloading pictures from email or the internet.

You have to remember that half of the equation is on the server's side.

Just because your speed test says you can download at 160 mbps, it doesn't mean the server you're downloading from will let you utilize that full speed. Sometimes it's because it's a smaller network, other times because it's a large network that a ton of people need to be able to use at the same time.

It's likely evolutionary.

Link's Awakening: Bottle Grotto.

Having never played or viewed the manual for the original Zelda, I had no idea what a pol's voice or stalfos was. So when a puzzle asks you to defeat these things in a certain order in another random room, you're kind of left in the dark.

Pretty sure I got through the first few times (ah, the joys of disappearing save files) through sheer luck. A noise plays to indicate a key in the room, so I probably just cleared the room until I stumbled upon the solution.

I do remember being stuck on that puzzle for a very long time on some playthroughs though. Like, long enough to give up on the game for a good while before attempting it again.

...and the kid is like "he means the door is fucking blue"

I hate this one for how universally agreed upon it seems to be. The teacher is never going to ask you about why the author outright said something is blue, and the author is never just going to say something is a color for the sake of it. That's bad storytelling. They would say "the door was as blue as the endless ocean view that lay beyond it" if they're using descriptive imagery, or "the door was as blue as Jack's emotions after leaving her doorstep" if they're trying to combine imagery and story relevance.

The teacher is going to ask you about shit that actually has relevance to the story, like "why do you think the author made note of the golden sunset at the end of The Outsiders?" (I don't remember if that's what actually happened but let's roll with it) And the answer of course would be a reference to "stay gold, Ponyboy".

Depends on the author, and on the teacher.

Even some of the greats, and especially some of the classics, are rife with unnecessary details and filler (or even necessary details and filler that's still pointless to focus on). And some teachers will have their own special interpretations and completely miss other important points.

She had previously had several warnings about her attitude including over an incident when she chastised a family shopping for gifts on Christmas Eve telling them not to buy gifts on Christmas Eve with the reminder that in Spain, it is the Kings and not Santa Claus who brings the presents.

The woman, who had been employed at the Corte Ingles since 2005, had been given official warnings on numerous previous occasions for showing a lack of respect towards colleagues, bosses and customers, according to the employment court sentence.


On one hand, this.

On the other, it seemed like she was trying to help the mom out by distracting the dad. And what parents tell their kids that all presents to everyone are from Santa? Do relatives just get no credit at all? And do they put no presents under the tree until Christmas eve? What about if the kid visits other houses and sees presents already out?

We have grammatical rules, you know. Stuff that they teach you in English in school.

And karaoke and Everest aren't even debatable; pronouncing them as I previously stated is just flat out wrong as they have set pronunciations. In Japanese, letters are always pronounced one way. "Ka" will always be pronounced like the "ca" in car, not like in "carry". Just because most people are too ignorant or lazy to say them correctly doesn't make the mispronunciation correct.

It's funny because Japanese immigrants were large contributors to Hawaiian Pidgen.

You might as well go to Japan and yell at Osakans for butchering "proper Japanese".

Actually Pidgin was mostly influenced by the native Hawaiians, which is why a great majority of the people with horrible grammar and syntax here are pacific islanders, either local Hawaiians, or Tongan, Samoan, Marshallese, etc. You rarely see Asians here who speak Pidgin; they speak just normal English or have an accent of their homeland.

Yeah, tell that to my family. Both lines that are 100% Japanese go into full on pidgen at times. It's pretty much dependent on how long they've been here.

Can't blame Marshallese and Tongans for it, since many of them are first or second gen here and are learning English as a second language. And most recent Samoans are pretty well spoken, probably because of the stronger presence of English in Samoa.

For the Hawaiians and others that have been here since those days though, pidgen is basically a mark of being local. Like I said, go tell some Osakans to speak "proper" Japanese and see what their response is.
